Robo-pop: Lollipop ladies get hi-tech cameras in their headgear and sticks to combat road rage...

What's the big deal here? Buses have cameras to catch out graffiti offences, assaults and robberies on bus drivers.

You don't find anything wrong with the idea that everyone is watching your every move? Your habits? Where you go and what you do? Did we not learn anything from history as a society?

PS. Come to think of it, surveillance is a knee jerk reaction to a society falling apart. Its starting to happen in the US too. No honor. No dignity. No bonds in society. Just suspicion.

If shes got any common sense don't, unless she wants the police to bang on her door and take her away for a question or two. Getting involved is more trouble than it's worth.

George Orwell would be turning in his grave... the man was right all along.

At least they can't force us to think in their ways... oh... wait... the gullable british public already are believing what the Labour gov't spin machine spits out every day.

Welcome to the days of autocracy and surveillance, you only do what the government permits now.

Protest about something the government wants... fine go ahead. Protest about anything they want to keep hush hush and you get the entirety of the Met police knocking on your door in full riot gear. It was once said that you were free to protest about anytihng you like, say a word out of line about the government and your hushed away by police. There is no freedom in this world now, you just choose between being ruled by an oppressive religion, or being ruled by the heavy hand of the government and its many long meddling arms of influence.

"I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Your soon to be rolled out national identity cards would say otherwise... I can just imaigne it, "citizen number: 19034AAJ3 E"

All that might sound a bit farfetched, but think hard... Big Brother is already here... and hes watching us all.

So far on that one Labour has put that on the back burner so to speak of. But be adviced, if they win the general election the ID Card will go to the top of there list. The ID Card is not the real threat to our democracy the RFID is the big one, no bloody way am I having that injected in to me.

I think you've misunderstood the badly worded headline, they're putting cameras in the sticks, not arming the Lollipop ladies with batons

Gotta love the 'Robo-pop' term.

Comedian. :rotfl:

Normally I am as opposed as anyone regarding government surveillance of it's citizens but I see this as a bit different:

Around 1,400 incidents were reported to councils last year and dozens of lollipop staff needed hospital treatment after being hit by cars.

IMO anyone who would run down a school crossing guard needs to be beaten within an inch of his life and have what's left of him jailed for a very long time.
